TOUCH-SENSITIVE OPERATING DEVICE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE AND MOTOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A touch-sensitive operating device for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- an actuation lever that is a steering column stalk having an elongate configuration;
a sensor arrangement comprising at least one touch-sensitive and/or proximity-sensitive sensor element which is arranged on the actuation lever; and
an electronic evaluation device which is coupled to the at least one sensor element and is configured to detect the at least one sensor element being touched and/or the at least one sensor element being approached,wherein the evaluation device is configured to identify an operating gesture of an operator on the actuation lever on the basis of a combination of at least two detected touches on the sensor arrangement and/or approaches towards the sensor arrangement, and to trigger a predetermined operating function on the basis of the identified operating gesture.
